Gloria Loughman, renowned Quilting instructor, back to Norfolk Island by popular demand

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012 - Norfolk Island Travel Centre

Quilt Norfolk and The Travel Centre are delighted to confirm Gloria Loughman will return to lead the April Quilt Retreat on Norfolk Island 23-27 April 2013.

With retreat participation capped to 20 visitors, participants are guaranteed personal time with Gloria Loughman for what will be a fabulous quilting holiday. The Norfolk landscapes and vistas are quilting inspiration in itself, there’s plenty of time for visitors to immerse themselves in the unrivalled beauty of Norfolk Island or simply enjoy a break away from it all.

What began as therapy has developed into a passion for Gloria Loughman, who says her love of quilting has given her the opportunity to travel the world. After dabbling in many areas, including strip piecing, bargello, colourwash, fabric dyeing and painting, and machine embroidery, Gloria found a niche in capturing the beauty of landscape quilting.

Registration fee for the classes is an additional $616 per person and includes special “Quilters” welcome gift, meet your tutor drinks and nibbles, farewell dinner and a week of classes with renowned tutor Gloria Loughman plus lots more.

Can’t make it for the April Quilt Retreat? Why not come 20-24 October 2013 for the Quilters Getaway? - open to larger attendance with four fabulous quilting tutors.

Norfolk Island Travel Centre is an award winning travel agency that specialises in quality, personalised travel. Norfolk has a unique beauty of its own, with its renowned tall majestic pines, sheer cliff faces, coral reefs and beautiful beaches. Almost one third of the island is devoted to National Parks and Reserves. But Norfolk Island is far more than a picturesque island in the South Pacific, it is paradise with a past.

There is much to see and do on Norfolk Island: fascinating historic tours, see Kingston which is a World Heritage Listed area,outdoor re-enactments of the Bounty Mutiny (with parts played by actual descendants of Fletcher Christian), ‘Light and Sound’ shows, eco-tours, glass bottom boat coral reef trips, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, dining out in the numerous fine restaurants, bush walking, scenic horse riding, golf on what has been called the world’s most beautiful golf course, bowls, tennis, and squash. Take advantage of Norfolk's tax-free shopping or perhaps simply take some time out to relax and enjoy Norfolk's peaceful existence.
